<p>When I called Haas and asked an advisor they gave the same information as posted on the above post. Haas doesn’t care how many units you have but they will only take a maximum of 70 of them. </p>
<p>Another thing - someone else on this thread said you only have one chance to apply to Haas. I don’t believe this is true. I went to the Haas application seminar at CAL and they said they can’t control the number of times a transfer applicant applies (so you can apply every year). I believe the number might be capped at one for CAL students but for transfers it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Oh and Carol - I wouldn’t risk it. That’s a HUGE leap of faith. There are plenty of other business schools throughout the country which aren’t as hard to get into. Just to give you an idea of the application - on the app it asks where you were born - how long you’ve lived in CA - etc. </p>
<p>I don’t know how much that weighs into the application but if they ask it - it matters.</p>
<p>community college priority is a HUGE deal when it comes to getting into Haas. Only 2 students transferred from non CCC schools to haas last year.</p>
<p>and NON CCC doesn’t necessarily mean OUT-OF-STATE, it includes out-of-state AND UC-UC transfers… so, your chance is even lower :(… if Haas is your biggest dream ever, go to CCC!</p>
<p>To tatty,
I gonna be crazy…I can’t imagine what will happen if I transfer to ccc from the university of alabama. what can I do??the transfer policy is really unfair to out-of-state students.</p>
<p>I don’t understand how its unfair. California tax payers pay for the UC system so why should out of state students get priority when they have their own state schools? If anything, it’d unfair for you to have the same priority as us.</p>

<p>acceptance rate is not 6%, they throw out more than half the applicants every year for missing pre-reqs. Actual rate is around 20% or so.</p>
<p>^^ woooww. ur stats its flawless. did u get in this year? if so, congrats. im pretty sure that u’re confident about ur chance for berkeley. How long did u take to get the pre-reqs done??</p>
<p>But even though the 20% acceptance rate doesn’t seem too bad, you have to remember that it’s 20% of some of the most qualified applicants. Granted, not all the people who completed their prereqs have a 4.0 and great ECs, but they have to be pretty darn persistent students to finish all of the required classes.</p>
<p>Hey, the pre-reqs do not take long to do if you plan out carefully what to take, a lot of transfers make the mistake of taking unnecessary courses. People need to spend time to maximize the benefit for every class, as for the 20% acceptance rate, that is true there are a lot of qualified people. However, 20% is high considering its the top 5 undergraduate program in the country, with 90% of transfers coming from California Community Colleges. I am confident, but with that many people applying you never know what they want. I decided to go to LA anyways, I like the area a lot better, berkeley is too ghetto. I’ll consider it for grad school.</p>
<p>SoccerDude: so even if you get into Haas, you still go to UCLA? @<a href="mailto:@">@</a>… wow…</p>
<p>Carol2009: as other people said, it’s fair enough for the UCs to give priority to CCCs’ students. Therefore, if you’re determined to get into Haas, transferring to CCCs is, as far as I know, the best choice you could possible make to increase your chance with Haas. Otherwise, choose other backups, such as your state schools and privates (USC is good, too)</p>
<p>I’ve carefully planned out my courses, looking to see if courses overlap with IGETC and prereqs for other schools. While there are some that do, I still came up with an extra 20 units I need to take, which is well more than a full semester. Here they are off the top of my head:</p>
<p>-Literature/Writing
-Advanced Composition
-Foreign Language (two years min. in college)
-International Studies
-Historical Studies
-Stats</p>
<p>The biggest pain here is that they don’t accept any AP credit for the breadth requirements.</p>
<p>I just read your post and couldn’t help but reply. I am pretty sure your FBLA awards are from last year because I attended this years SBLC conference and I placed 2nd in the Business Decision Making Case Study (UCSD received 1st), 4th in the Emerging Business Issues, and 5th in the Hospitality Management case. Come to think of it, it’s possible we were sitting at the same table at this years reception. Are you Indian by any chance?</p>
<p>@Game_theory: Are you applying in Fall 09? Because if you already applied in Fall 08, like I did, you could still use AP exams to satisfy breadth</p>
<p>There has been a lot of talk about units on this board. Haas takes a maximum of 70 units from the transfer applicant but what if the applicant has been at a CC for over 2 years and has over 90 units? Is the applicant eligible as long as all the req. courses have been completed?</p>
<p>Russkiy_Bear, if you read my post it says i joined UCSD’s FBLA program because my community college does not have on. I was part of the team at UCSD that won that, along with 3rd in economic analysis and decision making nd 5th for business presentation for 2009.</p>
